Plastics that come in contact with your food or drink ‘should’ be safe based on the following general information.

Look for the Recycle symbol (often on the bottom of the container) and read the number located inside the symbol.

The following list cross-references the recycle number (recycling symbol) with what is generally considered safe for food (or not safe).

FOOD GRADE PLASTICS MAY HAVE BEEN MOLDED WITH A NON FOOD GRADE RELEASE

Ain't that the truth. We used whatever release was in stock in mold tryout.

For most of my bulk storage I put everything in a secondary bag inside. Two seals and both are rated food grade, and the only time I had an issue was when the oldest left the container open (bugs got inside).
